I was wondering if a brake booster like this could fit in a Maverick or Comet. http://store.summitracing.com/partd...700+400617+324875+4294852109+115&autoview=sku I've added 13 inch Cobra Mustang brakes and I want power without having the huge factory booster. I'm not sure if it would hit the shock tower if I go with the after market one. Does anybody have info on this. Thanks in advance.
Someone on here has one similar, maybe they'll pop in and let you know where they got it. A few years ago, there was a post somewhere on the net about using a Geo Metro booster, and they did the conversion on a Falcon, I'll see if I can find the link. I used a 1" bore Willwood master cylinder on my car, so far it seems better tahn the stock mc did with the front brakes, but I plan on doing the Cobra conversion, so we'll see. (I was ebay shopping for the stuff yesterday) Here's one link: http://www.joesfalcon.com/page33.html
If it is 11" or shorter from mounting surface to end of master cylinder, it would at least fit behind the shock tower. Don't know what all mods would have to be done to make it fit. I bought a booster/mc set up from ABS Power Brake Inc. Only mod that has to be done to your car is the large hole in the firewall needs to be opened up another 1/8". Also if you order from them, you have to specify you need the mounting studs to be 1 1/2" longer (in addition to what comes on it). I got part #9786 which is for 4 wheel disc. I think the part number for disc/drum is 9784 but call them and verify. http://www.abspowerbrake.com/index.html
